Parker & Stone, Inc., is considering a new project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of 1.2 million. The project also requires an initial investment in net working capital of $250,000. The project is expected to generate $950,000 in sales and cost $400,000 every year for three years. The fixed asset follows a straight-line depreciation. After three years, the fixed asset has a zero book value but is estimated to have a market value of $200,000, and the net working capital will fully recovery. The corporate tax rate is 35%.
